BATON ROUGE - Tailback Terrence Magee on Sunday night became the seventh player to be awarded LSU's No. 18 jersey since staff members made the number a special honor entering the 2004 season.

Magee, a senior from Franklinton, is coming off his best season as a Tiger after getting buried on the depth chart in 2011 as a true freshman tailback and again playing very little in 2012 as a deep backup at wide receiver. Magee returned to tailback in 2013 and is LSU's leading returning rusher entering the 2014 season as he gained 626 yards on 86 carries with eight touchdowns last season.
